    Check out the new chovevei rabbis. The second one (only two this year?) is married to a woman with ordination from JTS.

    Popa,

    The real question is who is the real Maharat.

    Charlie,

    What’s wrong? who said wrong, just exceedingly funny.

    “And the problem with that is? “

    Nothing wrong – neither necessarily beleive in Torah M’Sinai. Sounds like a good match.

    It’s actually a step in the right direction, towards YCT fully admitting that it’s not Orthodox.

    Popa, thanks for highlighting it.

    Charlie consider that there may also be something wrong with the fact that you aren’t willing to acknowledge that anything can ever be wrong with anything?

    You obviously haven’t been paying attention to what I post here.

    Charlie,

    I think Popa’s point is that YOU don’t pay attention to what you post. Here or elsewhere.

    Frankly, I think that is very generous of Popa.

    pba: why do you think YCT guys think nothing is wrong with anything?

    They think something is wrong with our mesorah.

    They think something is wrong with those who believe Torah was given at Har Sinai.

    They think something is wrong with those who don’t allow women to daven for the amud.

    PBA: Be fair, YCT Smicha is certainly more rigorous than JTS is nowadays…

    DY: I’m saying that “more of a Rabbi” implies did more for their Smicha.

    Fine, Sam, so what would you have titled the thread?

    I wouldn’t have made a thread like this because we all know where YCT stands and those who refuse to acknowledge that are just in denial. Beating them over the head with more Conservative things they do won’t convince anyone.

    Since this thread exists, though, I would recommend, First Marriage Between Two “Orthodox” Rabbis. Or something along those lines.

    Haggai Resnikoff learned for two years at Yeshivat HaKibbutz HaDati at Ein Tzurim before majoring in history at the University of California in Berkeley. Following graduation from Berkeley he spent several years in Israel doing graduate coursework in the Hebrew University Talmud department and learning in various batei midrash in Jerusalem. He came to Chovevei after spending a year as a Judaic Studies teacher at Tehiyah Day School in El Cerrito, California. During his tenure at Chovevei Haggai had internships at Congregation Beth Sholom in Potomac, Maryland, Congregation Beth David in West Hartford, Connecticut, and Abraham Joshua Heschel High School in Manhattan as well as taking part in the JOIN Community Organizing Fellowship. He is married to Maya Resnikoff, a chaplain and educator with ordination from JTS. Haggai is interested in modern halakhic issues and their overlap with academic textual issues. He is enthusiastic about martial arts, cooking, and English literature.

    At least the 2 “rabbis” are of different genders. Im wonder if I ask a shailah of each, whould they agree on the answer. If the YCT grauate recognizes the ordination of a woman as a “rabbi”, isn’t something wrong the the “rabbis” that YCT is ordaining?

    Unfortunately one of their main representatives writes in a publication that supports Hamas. Together with Rana Baker, who was gloating and celebrating the kidnapping.

    The associate rabbit at HIR publishes articles in Al-Jazeera.

    He is also the registrar for YCT.
